As the title of my blog implies, I have a thing for historical fiction. Addict is an accurate descriptor, but connoisseur works just as well. I'll also accept genre junkie if you are so inclined.
My enthusiasm extends to all subgenres. I read literary historical fiction, translated fiction, historical fantasy, historical romance, time-slip novels, alternative history, steampunk, historical graphic novels, mythology and folklore, etc., and so on. If the material is there, so am I.
I've no professional publishing credentials and a not a librarian. I work in the field of Sustainability and spend most days crunching numbers to quantify energy efficiency in the multifamily space. Books are my passion and reviewing has been my hobby since 2010.
My rating system breaks down as follows:
- 1 star: I feel the story suffers from significant structural or editing errors.
- 2 stars: I appreciate the story, but recognize it didn't speak to me.
- 3 stars: I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to other readers.
- 4 stars: I loved the story and found it nearly impossible to put down.
- 5 stars: Best of the best, could not put it down, haunted for days after reading.

Happy Reading - Erin
